Introduction and Overview
3
Introduction and Overview• In terms of financial management the Department has received an
unqualified audit report.• The matters of emphasis will receive attention more particularly the
matter of departmental performance management and reporting. • The Outcome Based Performance Management introduced by Cabinet
came into place and required substantial readjustment in how we work and perform as a Department
• The Department was “internal” focused and there is a clear need for the Department to take its place as the leader and driver of ensuring the facilitation of sustainable human settlements and improving household quality of life.
• A Departmental Turn-Around Strategy was commenced with in order to ensure the mandate change from “housing to human settlements” development is implemented and achieved.
4
Introduction and Overview• A key issue is that the Departmental monitoring and reporting
programme is weak and will be strengthened in the turn-around.• The lack of appropriate programme and project management
capacity at the provinces and municipalities is a matter which clearly is reflected in performance and measurement of the outcomes.
• A number of policy, planning, funding and implementation gaps have been identified including data collection and integrity, value for money, improved performance of the grants and subsidy instruments and steps taken to close the gaps.
• Governance and compliance gaps will also be closed, improved and strengthened and this includes the entities until control of the Department and Minister.
• The strengthening of policy responsiveness is also a matter for critical action and intervention including cooperative housing.

Challenges
53
Challenges
• Under and Non-reporting by Provinces on the total value chain.• The lack of a planned and implementable programme and project
pipeline• Failure by provinces to prioritize and budget for the resolution of
blocked projects.• Lack of capacity to verify performance of all projects in the nine
Provinces;• Reliability and verification of reported programme and project
performance data;• Availability of reliable data for indicators to measure Human
Settlement Index• Intergovernmental co-ordination of Capacity Development
Programme.
54
Challenges• Improvement in provincial allocation for resources for the
implementation of the capacity development interventions including training and consumer education.
• Required improvements in the alignment and accuracy of delivery performance between the Local, Provincial the National Department.
• Delays in the reporting timeframe and gaps in the information being reported need to be addressed.
• Lack of availability of capacity and expertise at provinces for project management to ensure the effective utilisation of available resources within current priority programmes and projects
• Alignment of provincial and municipal budget allocations to achieve required national outputs and outcomes.
55
Proposed Interventions
56
Proposed Interventions• A Departmental Turn-Around Strategy has been approved for
implementation.• The establishment of a Programme Management Unit has commenced. • An Implementation Forum has been established to ensure proper
accountability for agreed outputs and outcomes. • A Human Settlements and Basic Services Task Team has been
established to improve National, Provincial and Municipal Coordination.• Required evaluations are to be conducted on key programmes including
informal settlement upgrading and social and rental housing to improve performances in funding, planning and implementation.
57
Proposed Interventions• The development and commissioning of an appropriate performance
management system to monitor and manage internal and stakeholder performance has commenced with the assistance of SITA.
• Improved governance, compliance and performance oversight of provinces, human settlements entities and municipalities is consistent work-in-progress.
• Improved human resource recruitment, capacity, training and development is planned when the revised organizational structure is implemented.
